‘User Led’ initiative..
Ref: IALA FAQ ver 1.5 dated Sept 2010
“Shore based needs are currently being
developed with the assistance of IALA and
are anticipated to fall into the categories of:
•better data collection for marine domain
awareness;
• more effective information management;
• better provision of information to vessels;
•greater quality assurance;
•more effective sharing of information
between authorised shore users to reduce
the burden on seafarers and improve logistic
management; and
•To support Search and Rescue (SAR)
operations by improving access to relevant
information and ensuring effective
communication.”
e-Navigation
• Situation Awareness-Real time monitoring of maritime domain with multiple sensors- Recognised Surface Picture/Common Operating Picture for all users- Multi Sensor fusion
• Prevention- Accurate, timely and user friendly data flow enabling high risk situations to be identified- Port Security and act upon illegal activities
• Port Efficiency-Berth and Port programming-Anchorage allocation and integration into administrative procedures (invoicing, resources, etc.)

Requirements for establishing a VTS Fee
Preliminary Requirements:
• Legislature in place (national, regional or port Legislature)• Similar concept to current AtoN’s fees charged by Ports today• Compromise by Port Authority / Maritime Authority to implement
system• 24/7 operation with reaction assets ready to be deployed• Construction permits and clearance
Operating Requirements:
• Formal establishment of “VTS Fee”• VTS Fee of USD x.x per DWT or USD x.x per mt of LOA, or flat fee• VTS Fee to be within reasonable boundaries to prevent lack of port
competitiveness or large impact • Be part of “no due certificate” prior to departure• VTS Fee increase mechanism over the years (legislature)• Insure maintenance, mid-life upgrades and major upgrades

Advantages of establishing a VTS Fee
Economical and Operational:
• Decrease cost for investment in VTS system and maintenance as well as manning
• Better vessel programming, berth allocation, designation of pilots and other resources
• Possibility of info-linking into port administrative system, and effective mean to charge port expenses (use of berth, for example)
• Improve Port efficiency by means of accurate statistics
• Possibility to reduce Port insurance policy (less incidents of possible collision, boarding, stowaways, etc)
• Improve Port Security overall

BOOT – BUILD, OWN, OPERATE, TRANSFER
• A single organization or consortium (BOOT Provider) designing, funding, owning and operating the scheme for a defined period of time – and then transferring this ownership across to an agreed party
• The customer enter into long term supply contract with the BOOT provider
• BOOT schemes are becoming popular for means of financing infrastructure developments in e.g. India, Australia, etc.
• A BOOT model is 100 % debt funding / no investment requirement from client (example port authority / maritime authority)
• The key requirement of a BOOT provider is long term contract with the customer
• BOOT terms vary between projects (for example 10-20-30 years)
